Got to swing by the Championship Gaming Series and hang out for a bit - damn gaming has changed!
I used to play a lot when I was a kid, but back then it was Mario Bros. and Zelda. Remember when Street Fighter 2 came out? I was like, “How the hell am I gonna get used to using SIX buttons???” Now gaming can literally bring you into a simulated world. People from around the world can compete against each other, and professional gamers (thats right, “Professional Gamers”) make a damn good living.


1. Inside the series 2. Who is Nemesis Jaxson?

While at the event I got to meet Fatal1ty. Probably America’s most famous gamer, if not the world. Fatal1ty’s stats are impressive to say the least. I remember I first heard about him on a Kevin and Bean interview (KROQ) a couple of years ago. One of the things that stuck out to me was how the fact that gamers were starting to pick up a lot of fame and money, especially overseas. I’m talking about a guys like Fatal1ty who get mobbed by fans, date super models, and have TV shows. Gone are the days of people like me playing Super Mario Bros. in my pajamas Saturday morning.

Also at the event was K.O. You may have seem him on our feature. K.O. is an up and coming artist - which is ironic since he’s been in the game since his wee teens.
Check out his blog here.

I entered a Rockband Tournament the other weekend (cough cough)…
We didn’t win, but I had tons of fun. See below and you’ll get a glimpse.

At times it felt like a big sing-a-long, but the more the merrier.
I’m gonna have to polish my skills before the next one!

I was at the Anime Expo this past weekend doing a digital painting demo for Vision 21 who shared a booth with Nexon.

To make a long story short, I got hit in the face with the unexpected. Growing up, one of the things that got me into drawing was Dragonball, along with a slew of other Japanese comics. Back then, you couldn’t really find any of it in English. So I would have to drive all the way to Koreatown and find Korean translations of the Japanese comic (now known as “manga”) just so I could see what would happen to Goku and his friends. Eventually my interest in manga faded over the years. Now fast forward to today. I haven’t really been keeping up with manga and how popular it’s gotten in the U.S. I’ve been hearing of things such as “cosplay” here and there, but never really experienced it first hand. I got a glimpse of it at “Video Games Live”, but wasn’t prepared for the sheer weirdness of it all.


1. After a long day of ninja-ing around, Snake Eyes decides to holla at the ladies. 2. Check out the detail on this model!!!

There were thousands of kids dressed up as their favorite characters walking around as if they did it everyday. I was totally fascinated by it. I kept on thinking how awesome life would be if everyone dressed like this everyday. Life would never be boring. I also liked the fact that so many kids could come out and be totally consumed by their eclectic sub-culture.


1. Dammit, was I the only one who didn’t know that I was a geek???

In the end, I met a lot of good peole, had a blast, and left inspired. If you still don’t get a sense of how different things can be check this clip out:

It was seriously like that all the time.

Feel Good Fusion - June 2008

Sparrow Love Crew (BIO from CRACKLE.com)

The Southern California Based Hip-Hop dynamo Sparrow Love Crew is renowned for their fresh beats and fiendishly fun lyrics. Oh, and for getting parties started, crowds riled and masses of lasses shakin’ it on stage. Sparrow Love Crew radiate positive energy, lyrical choreography and witty verbiage. They also own a stage like Donald Trump owns the Trump Tower.

Drawing upon an eclectic array of influences SLC blends elements of dance, ghettotech, electronica, even freestyle with their own style of high energy, soulful hip hop. SLC seeks to blend the best of the past with the hope of a future. While they push forward conventional formulas, their songs are made for end-of-the-night sing-alongs, hip-hop as it was first imagined—party-rockin’ first, ask questions later.

DJ Hideo
